The House in the Middle of Sawah

ANOMALIES

I parked "Thor" on the side of the road before the bridge, about three hundred meters from my house. I chose to walk through the rice fields, because I thought it was possible that my house was currently being used for rituals or something by Mbah Kadir. Remembering all of a sudden last night my family had to move to the store after I met Mbah Kadir. There must be something. That's why I don't want "Thor" to make my reconnaissance tonight end in failure.

Scroll watch, eight o'clock is less than a quarter. The moon shines brightly, making its green rice fields look so clear. The closer I got to home, the more cautious I got. I tiptoed so that no sound could be heard from my every step. The lights of the house appear bright, but the front door is tightly closed. There is no activity from this house. Nothing has changed, it's still the same as last night when my family and I went to the store.

I entered the courtyard, the breeze was cold on my nape. There was a faint sound of people talking in the house. Wh who? I sharpened my hearing and vision. Faintly behind the curtain-covered window, there was a shadow of two people standing face to face.

" . . . kemis wave tolu . . . . . .", a voice like a woman.

"period o . . . ", the voice of a man, like the voice of Mbah Kadir.

There were two voices, a man and a woman, like they were arguing. It is not clear what they are discussing. Only a few pieces were heard, and I didn't understand them. I need to get closer. Although there was a bit of fear in my mind, I had to make sure who was currently in my house, and what they were talking about.

After some thought, why do I have to settle into my own house. Those who are in my house without my permission should be afraid, why am I afraid to go back to my own home. Goddamn it, I feel like a fool. I stood ready to step closer to the house, took a deep breath and prepared to crash into the two people inside.

Just now my feet stepped forward one step, my shoulders in tight grip from behind. Who the hell? A plot of the person inside? Shit, I'm rash as it is. But with a bruise on Iwan's face, I'm preparing for another spasm tonight.

I moved away from the grip, turned around, and set the horses ready to attack. But, the horses I did weaken instantly. My knees are like they're losing their veins, drowning. What I saw in front of me was not an enemy I could hit. My nape felt very cold instantly, but the sweat on my forehead started to drip. My body is experiencing what is called an anomaly. Because what's in front of me right now is obviously also an anomaly to nature.

Lik Jo stood in front of me, looking at me with a black and deep eye basin. His skin looks pale with wet hair. A rope tied around his neck. The rope he used to hang himself. Lik Jo the dead masseuse is now in front of me. His broken neck looked blue, bent to the right. His head twitched trying to straighten his neck again.

The bones of the neck collide with each other, as the head moves. I feel pain myself. The courage I had prepared to face the "human" turned out to shrink when faced with the dedemite. I pinched my own thighs, so that my legs would jerk to move. One hard pinch like being a lighter for my leg immediately moved. I ran the ridge. So panicked I ran in no direction. I jumped into the rice field. It's a stupid decision. Because the muddy rice fields buried my feet. Let alone running, walking is hard.

Tecipak Kecipak

The sound of my feet breaking away from the mud of the rice field. I was bored, my energy drained, my body full of mud splashes. My hands spread the rice paddy that was high enough leaves, felt sore scratched rough edges of the stems and leaves of rice. I looked back, seeing Lik Jo standing facing the house, like I didn't care if I ran away. It seems like the creature has no intention of chasing me.

But I was wrong, suddenly Lik Jo's head twisted, facing towards me. While his body was still facing towards the house, a smile appeared on his lips. Siaaalll, I have to run, let's go, come on, go faster. I ran as I kept looking back watching Lik Jo.

Lik Jo's twisted "dedemit" head, looks cut off and falls to the ground. I was getting more horrified, but I was unable to run fast, my chest tightened. Oxygen where's oxigeenn? Is there too much carbon dioxide in the air tonight? Lik Jo's headless body is seen bending over, his hands fumbling the ground, looking for his head. The hand managed to hold the head of the bundle, and with one move threw the piece of head towards me.

Bruaakkk

Exactly, that dedemit head, hit my head. I fell down, fell into the mud. My eyes are yellowing. I began to lose consciousness. I faintly saw next to me the face of Lik jo smiling with the rope still tied around his neck, and slowly, the face was immersed in mud. Along with that, my consciousness also went down.
